I recently added a 2011 reading challenge to the Night of the Living Book Club. I also started a Blogger site for the book club and challenge. http://nightofthelivingbookclub.blogspot.com/ The reading challenge uses the Bram Stoker Awards as inspiration. The main goal is to read one title from every year of the award for novel. I [...] Facebook game addiction? Is there such a thing? YES. Doing a quick search in Google I get 9 of the top 10 responses deal with Facebook game addiction. This can be considered just a form of net addiction. Facebook games are major time wasters. Many of the games are identical in form it is just [...] Awhile ago I came across a blog about reading 52 books in 52 weeks. “52 Books in 52 Weeks” is a great idea. This is an achievable goal. This can be very motivating to read more books instead of watch TV. So my own goal will be my first 2011 resolution. Read at least 52 [...] Updated my iPhone 4 and 2G iPod Touch to iOS 4.2. Everything went well, as expected. With my 2G iPod Touch the update took a total of 10 minutes to complete with a 346.8 MB download. The iPhone 4 took a total of 15 minutes with a 624.3 MB download.

So I [...] The Night of the Living Book Club will no longer meet at Books Inc in Mountain View after the September selection. I no longer work for Books Inc. and communication about dates and times as become difficult. I will discuss with the few participants if there is any interest to continue the club elsewhere. I [...] Since I was awake at 1:30 AM June 15th, I decided to checkout the Apple Store website. At first I was not thinking about pre-ordering an iPhone 4, I was actually checking if there were any iPod classics available on the refurbished site. Well, the Apple Store was down for maintenance. After that I thought [...] I no longer work for Books Inc. in Mountain View, so the continuation of the Night of the Living Book Club at that physical location will probably end in June. Since the May and June books have already been selected and posted I will still facilitate the book club on the first Monday of the [...] First post of 2010 – FINALLY! Maybe if I try a weblog editor like MarsEdit, I may actually post more often. This still doesn’t have the flexibility of some of the plugins provide. Like embedded video. And I have not tried to upload and insert a picture. I currently do not use Flickr. For most [...] A couple of weeks ago I saw Wicked the musical at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco I am not a big musical fan. In fact I can not remember the last time I saw one of the handful I have seen in my life. Possibly 20 years ago. Wicked was fascinating, an excellent [...] |
